    The Pakistani city of Peshawar has begun burying its dead after a Taliban attack at a school killed at least 132 children and nine staff.

    Mourners crowded around coffins bedecked with flowers, while other families waited at hospitals for news.

    Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared three days of mourning and Pakistan's army struck at militants in the region.

    World leaders voiced disgust at the Taliban's deadliest attack to date, which even its Afghan allies disowned.

    According to the army, Tuesday's attack was carried out by seven Taliban attackers, all wearing bomb vests.

    They cut through a wire fence to enter the school from the rear and attacked an auditorium where children were taking an exam.

    Gunmen then went from classroom to classroom at the military-run school, shooting pupils and teachers where they found them, survivors say.

    The siege at Peshawar's Army Public School, which teaches boys and girls from both military and civilian backgrounds, lasted eight hours.

    A total of 125 people were wounded, according to the army before all seven attackers were killed. Hundreds of people were evacuated.

    The Pakistani Taliban sought to justify the attack by saying it was revenge for the army's ongoing campaign against them. The school was chosen as a target, the militant said, because their families had also suffered heavy losses.

    'I can't talk anymore'
    In line with the Islamic custom, mourners began burying victims as darkness fell.

    The bier carrying the shrouded body of one teacher was strewn with flowers as men crowded around it.

    Maybe white christians needs to start killing, raping, robbing, looting and rioting. Then they'd have the support of the left.

    My Lai's were known VC safehavens, why don't you try comparing it to Hue. You're a sick individual for down playing any atrocity, it doesn't matter who did the killing, targeting innocent children is a tragedy regardless of who did what in history

    The Pakistani Air Force totally unloaded on Waziristan last night.

    It was a massive bombing and low-level ground attack campaign (by eastern standards). It went on all night and entire enclaves simply ceased to exist. Anyone who didn't dig deep is dead.

    I was once tasked to write an unclassified evaluation of performance from flight test of their F-16s and came away liking their ships. They are light, fast and reasonably well equipped and they took the trouble to train their maintenance units adequately to keep them fully mission capable for a good long time.

    What the taliban are about to find out is that when you make children a military target your adversary is instantaneously relieved of any moral obligation to avoid civilians or collateral damage.

    Who says I'm downplaying it? We've been committing atrocities in the Middle East for decades. But rightists continue to hold onto the belief that we are somehow better than "they" are.

    If it occurred at night, then the noise would prevent people from sleeping and according to the Democrat party, sleep deprivation is a form of torture. Maybe the UN needs to hold a hearing and Diane Feinstein needs to do a report about it.
